Darcy Moore on the contest with Josh Treacy in the final seconds of yesterday’s loss:

Was 55 seconds from the Demons’ 6-6-6 infringement to the Saints actually getting the ball. How on earth has no one on the Dees’ bench told Jack Viney to get to the defensive edge of the centre square?! Would’ve been in the exact hole where NWM marked it

There cannot be a more absurd final 3mins of a game… ever. Oliver’s miss that would’ve made it 7pts, Nasiah’s crazy contested mark, 6-6-6 free & after the siren goal #AFLSaintsDees

Tim Taranto a super late out for Richmond with calf tightness. Failed to train during the Tigers’ main session due to the calf. Jasper Alger in and will be the Tigers’ sub #AFLTigersPies

There’s been some bad performances this year, but this has to take the cake. Yes NM missing Xerri & Larkey… but this is proper uncompetitive from a side that still has LDU, Sheezel, Simpkin, Zurhaar, Curtis, Parker. 11 first rounders on the park tonight #AFLNorthCats

Live and free on 7Mate from 7pm tomorrow night @7AFL @VFL

Dayne Zorko fined $3000 by the AFL

Free agent Reilly O’Brien has re-signed with Adelaide on a three-year deal @7AFL @7NewsAdelaide @7NewsMelbourne

Tim Taranto left the track 10mins into Richmond main training today with a calf complaint and didn’t return. Tigers not overly worried to this point - but will be one to watch ahead of the 23 being named Friday 5pm. BOG last week @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL

Marcus Bontempelli knows modern footy is changing and star players need to be the drivers in recruitment. Contract done. Now time to convince Zak Butters to join him:

Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli has signed a four-year deal to remain with the club until 2029. He speaks exclusively tonight to @7NewsMelbourne at 6pm about why it took until round 20 & the big fish he’s working on landing.

Melbourne is the latest club to make an ambitious pitch to convince Joe Daniher to come out of retirement. Demons coach Simon Goodwin was Daniher’s assistant coach at Essendon. It highlights just how keen Melbourne is to bolster its key forward stocks.

It's the first day on the job for Greg Swann and he's going to have an instant impact. Chief Football Reporter @cleary_mitch has more. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS
